Important Notes
13
This presentation, and other statements that BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) may make, may contain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, with respect to BlackRock’s future financial or business performance, strategies or
expectations.  Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “trend,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “pipeline,”
“believe,” “comfortable,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “current,” “intention,” “estimate,” “position,” “assume,” “outlook,” “continue,” “remain,” “maintain,”
“sustain,” “seek,” “achieve,” and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” and similar
expressions.
BlackRock cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. 
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and BlackRock assumes no duty to and does not undertake to update
forward-looking statements.  Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements and future results could
differ materially from historical performance.
In addition to risk factors previously disclosed in BlackRock’s Securities and Exchange Commission reports and those identified elsewhere in this
presentation, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical
performance: (1) the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives and strategies; (2) changes and volatility in political,
economic or industry conditions, the interest rate environment, foreign exchange rates or financial and capital markets, which could result in
changes in demand for products or services or in the value of assets under management; (3) the relative and absolute investment performance of
BlackRock’s investment products; (4) the impact of increased competition; (5) the impact of future acquisitions or divestitures; (6) the unfavorable
resolution of legal proceedings; (7) the extent and timing of any share repurchases; (8) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes and
the adequacy of intellectual property, information and cyber security protection; (9) the impact of legislative and regulatory actions and reforms,
including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and regulatory, supervisory or enforcement actions of government
agencies relating to BlackRock or The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.; (10) terrorist activities, international hostilities and natural disasters,
which may adversely affect the general economy, domestic and local financial and capital markets, specific industries or BlackRock; (11) the
ability to attract and retain highly talented professionals; (12) fluctuations in the carrying value of BlackRock’s economic investments; (13) the
impact of changes to tax legislation, including income, payroll and transaction taxes, and taxation on products or transactions, which could affect
the value proposition to clients and, generally, the tax position of BlackRock; (14) BlackRock’s success in maintaining the distribution of its
products; (15) the impact of BlackRock electing to provide support to its products from time to time and any potential liabilities related to securities
lending or other indemnification obligations; and (16) the impact of problems at other financial institutions or the failure or negative performance of
products at other financial institutions.
This presentation also includes non-GAAP financial measures.  You can find our presentations on the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and our reconciliations on page 12 of this earnings release supplement, our current earnings
